I teach a weekly online class to virtual students in my school, focusing on 5th grade Writing Strategies. This PowerPoint is one of the lessons that I designed for the class. It is aligned to CA standards for fifth grade, and also aligned to the K12 curriculum so that students can get guided instruction on one of their lessons and be able to mark it off at the end.

Notes de l'éditeur
Set the timer for 60 seconds and let them have at it! There are 10 words in all: proofread, draft, dictionary, report, edit, write, essay, revise, conclusion, and thesaurus.
If you feel brave enough, let students raise their hand and use the mic to explain why they like that season.
Application share the graphic organizer. Comp 5.3.6 (writing to a persuasive prompt) uses the following prompt: “Some people think that television is bad for children. Should children be allowed to watch television? Write an essay in which you make an argument for either side of this question.” Discuss organizer, or go a step further and fill it out with student input and then do a quick save and file transfer it to them; they can use it to write their own essay later.
